I think the multiple mobos in one box is an interesting idea. Might
be able to get some efficiency of airflow/cooling etc, maybe make the
beastie a little quieter than N separate boxes.
Noise is a concern for me. All those fans are quite a distraction.
I've already got 4 computers within 4 feet of me. Thank God one of
them is a laptop & virtually silent. Now I'm looking at buying or
building a dual-CPU monster, and it will probably be as noisy as the
other 4 combined. :-( If I end up building it, I'm going to put
some effort into researching the quietest fans.
Too bad the boxes have to be nearby. If I could stick them 20' away
I could put them into the next room and noise would be no problem.
The CD drive, printer, etc would be inconveniently far away, but I
think I could live with that. But I don't think the video cable for
the monitor can be that long. Or is there a solution for that?

This would be useful too. I've got too many keyboards now. I've
been meaning to look into a kbd/mouse multiplexer. What are some
good ones?
